How to offset speed change in frame rate conforming?

Hi all. I am conforming video from about 25fps to 30 fps in cinema tools, before editing in FCP. Does any one know of a formula, or calculator tool that would tell me the speed change percentage to use, to get the clip to play in normal speed while editing? Is there a setting to do this automatically in FCP?

And you needn't speed change the footage at all. Simply cutting 25fps footage into a 30fps timeline will do. If you really desire a formula, to convert 25 fps to 30, you need to run it slower (less frames) so the speed is 25/30 or 5/6ths or 83% - to do it the other way, 30/25 = 6/5ths or 120%.
But, like I said, if you cut PAL footage into an NTSC timeline, it will adjust the speed appropriately - sizing too...

How can I change the frame rate of a project in imovie 10?

My problem is: I made a gopro movie with a frame rate of 50 fps. I imported it to imovie. So far so good.
Scrubbing over the clip i found one single frame which looked amazing. So I draged some seconds of that clip into the timeline (the project if you will).
The goal was to make a freeze frame out of this "spezial" frame.
Unfortunately I could not find this frame in the timeline any more - it's gone.
I think imovie dropped half of the frames to fit the clip into the projekt, which I assume is using 24-25fps.
The only solution I found is to decrease the speed of the clip to let's say 50%.
But is there a better way?
Can I change the frame rate of the projekt somehow? I think it was possible in imovie 11.
many thanks

iMovie 10 won't share at 50 fps and so for 25 fps output probably drops every other frame. This is different from Imovie 9 which could handle 50 fps. However, if you do 50% speed it will use all the available frames so that is indeed the way to find the frame you want. After you have made a freeze frame I think you can switch the clip back to normal speed. I am not aware of a better way in iMovie 10 By the way there is also no facility to export a still of a frame in iMovie.
As a GoPro user I think FCP 10.1 would be the best choice.

How can I change the frame rate mode?

Adobe Premiere Pro exports my videos with a variable frame rate. Because of this long videos are asynchronous. How can i change the frame rate mode? So Adobe Premie Pro exports my videos with a CONSTANT frame rate? The original video has a constant frame rate...

Sorry my mistakes. I am from Germany.. so...I mean with asynchronous that the video file and the sound file are displaced. In the beginning of the Video it's normal, but if the videos is very long it goes VERY "asynchronous"
I analyzed the video with "mediainfo":

And there i can read that the "frame rate mode" is variable... and that's the bad thing... I want to change that point to a constant frame rate mode. I use the H.264 codec

How do you change the frame rate (or fmp) of a project once you have already started?

I have been working on a project for a long time now, and I just reliezed that the frame rate of the project was 25 where as all my clips were in 30. Is there any possible way for me to change the frame rate even though I've already started the project? or do I have to start again?
thanks

Hi,
I've had a really good search through our documentation and website but there's no previous record of that error code. However, a quick google search turned up lots of things on MatLab user groups and the MathWorks forums.
MatWork's official stance is that the PCI 7342 is not supported in MatLab. They have a list of supported hardware here:

Dropping frames in render.. How do i change export frame rate

I have a film clip shot on the canon 5d which shoots only at 30fps. This was no issue in FCP as the preferences allow changing the frame rate.
The project plays fine in color, but when it comes time to render the settings are locked at 25fps. This results in sync issues once sent back to FCP.
Is there anyway to get around this? Is there a preference somewhere that allows me to change the frame rate in color?
Any help would be greatly appreciated

I want to play video on my computer to make some analysis to frames,the problem that I face ,I can't change video frame rate using labview,but I can change frame rate to the video out of labview using some program

HI All
I want to play video on my computer to make some analysis to it's frames,the problem that I face ,I can't change video frame rate using labview,but I can change frame rate to the video out of labview using some program .
I used IMAQ AVI Read Frame VI
for example I have avi video It's frame rate is 25 fbs ,my image processing code is very fast that can process more 25 fbs,so I want to accelerate video acquisition

Hi abdelhady,
I looked into this further, and reading an AVI file into LabVIEW faster than its frames per second won't be possible. LabVIEW could read in frames faster than 25fps, but because it will be pulling the available frame at that point in time this would just give you duplicate frames. If you want to be able to read in frames at faster than 25fps, you would need to speed up your AVI file before reading into LabVIEW.
There's a good shipping example to show how to read in from an AVI file, "Read AVI File.vi". You'll notice that they add timing to make sure that the while loop runs at the right speed to match up with the frames per second of the file being read. This is to make sure you're not reading duplicate frames.
Thank you,

Is it possible to change the frame rate of a motion template?

Motion has some very useful templates, but the majority are only offered in NTSC, not PAL. (including all in 3D TEXT PROJECTS).
Is it possible to change the frame rate to 25fps before I start adding my own stuff, so that I can easily get the timing right for a PAL sequence in FCP.
If not in Motion, how else could this been changed?

Try dragging all the groups from one project into another instead - you'll need to open both project and rearrange the windows so you can see the layers tab for both of them.

Changing animation frame rate when rendering in photoshop does not change the length of the video?

I made a walk cycle animation in Photoshop CS6 and want to render it into a quicktime format. I'd like it to be 12 fps, but when I rendered it at 12 fps the video seemed to be missing frames, and the video was 3 seconds long. I have 98 frames to my animation; doing the math, at 12 fps it should be 8 seconds long. Not 3.
I was confused and for curiosity's sake I rendered the video at 6 fps, trying to really slow it down. The video ended up being STILL 3 seconds long and only maybe 20 frames. I was missing literally 70 frames. I'm so upset with this rendering thing, I could chuck my computer at the wall.
Does anybody know of a solution to this?
edit: If it means anything, I've tried rendering it straight from the frame view and the timeline view. Each time I render it I have the timeline frame rate match the rendering frame rate as well.

Photoshop CS6 and CC support two types of animation Frame animations and a Video Timeline
Changing the frame rate should not change the length of a video timeline. It should just change the number of frames that are rendered. To change the length of a video you need to change the length of the video timeline. If you increase the length of the timeline and there is audio I'm quite sure there will be a problem with it, The Video part will most likely be better then the sound. The required number of extra frames can be generated however the video may look like slow motion. If you decrease the length the motion will speed up. The length of a video is normally done be editing video clips which are trimmed and stitched together to get the desired duration. Not normally done by altering the duration of a clip.
The duration a of Frame animation is the sum of the times each frame is displayed. In a frame animation the length of time a frame is displayed can be varied it not a normal motion picture video. To have a smooth frame animation you need a sufficient number of frames that are different from each other to show smooth motion. You can use Photoshop Frame animation tween feature to have Photoshop manufacture frames to help with a smoothing the animation. Once you have a frame animation the length with the motion you want you can have Photoshop convert it to a video timeline and render a normal motion picture video. It will not have audio but you can add audio to it.

Would you like to change the frame rate of the project to 30 to match to m

I just now moved some film clips from the Event Library to the Project Library and a white message window appeared saying: *MISMATCHED FRAME RATES. The frame rate of t his cli is 30 and the frame rate of the project is 25. Would you like to change the frame rate of the project to 30 to match the clip? And two radio buttons: Don't Change and Change.
First of all, the other day I set my Sanyo VPC-HD2000A to shoot film at 1280 x 72 at 30 fps SHQ. Now I just checked and it is set at the topmost red zone960 x 540 at 30fps. The only thing I can think of to explain this is that I selected it but did not "set" it.
Thus now I have a message asking what I noted above. Should I click CHANGE?
WHY IS THE FRAME RATE OF THE PROJECT SET AT 25? How did I do that? What did I do that caused me to have a project that is set at 25 fps?????
Time for another snack. 8-(
-L
A side issue is to find out why I set my Sanyo VPC-HD2000A at one rate (above) but now see that all the footage was shot at a different rate. Very very frustrating.

AppleMan,
It all began inside the settings of my Sanyo VPC-HD2000A when somehow the selection got switched from 1280 x 720 to that other setting with so-called 25fps. Also, I don't know whether the mishap occurred before or after I took my new footage.
I edited the clips last night and now they are on my blog and channel and they seem ok but slightly fuzzy.
I used a Sanyo VPC-HD2000A .7x wide angle lens with macro and I notice that when I zoomed in to the little sun conure, the picture blurred. I think that might be something that happens when one zooms the focus.
Also, I was born and raised to a teenager in Hawaii, but now Southern California has me in its grip.

How can you add/change the currency rate in spro?

Hi all,
you can add a new currency code by going to spro --- general settings --- check currency codes
for example: PERU ---> PEN
But, how can we add/change the currency rate PEN in spro?
for example: Peruvian Nuevo Sol = 4,3567619
Is it still in customizing? And if so, where can i find it?
Many thanks in advance.
Kind regards,
Pamela.

Hi Aman,
I have entered the field to add the new currency rate.
But the system doesn't want to valid my new rate.
I get the following error message:
"Input should be in the form ._,____ "
Do you know how to override that command?
Thanks.
Regards,
Pamela

Istopmotion. how can i change the frame rate in a project?

so i finally got istopmotion and i love it. its a bit tricky using the built in isight to grab shots but i am getting an external one. anywho, i was wondering if there is a way, once you have started working on a project, if you can change the framerate. i started a project, got pretty far into it, and found it was too fast. i'm probably just gonna redo this project but i wanna know for the future. thx

When you open up a new project you select your frame rate (same place where you select the format of your project). You could always slow/speed things up when you edit later in FCS or whatever you like to use for video editing.

Premiere elements 13 changing the frame rate of the original clips

Hi,
I'm trying to make a gameplay video for YouTube... The clips I'm using are at a low frame rate (13-15 fps). When I put these clips into the editor, they get sped up to 30 fps. This increases the speed of the video and the preview window jumps back and forwards in the video.
This is highly frustrating because I can not change the speed of my video, and I can't see what I'm editing... I've tried rendering the video but this makes no difference... Is there any way of getting around this problem???

Excellent! I'm pretty sure that will solve the problem. The files are in raw "movie clip" format. That usually causes problems. I can't beleive I didn't think of that before! I'll convert the files to mp4 or avi and post again to comfirm that that really was the problem.
Thanks for the quick response
--> Just to comfirm, changing the format to mp4 worked!
THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!11

How best to deal with multiple frame rates in storyline?

Hey all, my lack of attention to detail may have cost me hours. I have a movie I am working on and made the stupid assumption that all my clips are the same frame rate. Don't ask why I didn't check - just sheer stupidity.
So now I have numerous clips in the storyline all meticulously edited to sync with other clips, music, the whole nine. Some source clips are 24p while others are 60i. Do I really have to go back and convert each clip individually? I am looking to preserve quality as much as possible, and I know getting 60i to 24p will create some loss, but is there a nice and easy way to do the converting all at once after I complete the storyline?
Thanks in advance. Time to go do something else while I wait for answers...

on playback inside FCPX.
And on export.
you'll notice in the 'Retime Menu' the Option 'Conform Speed' - eg, when I add a 60p clip to my 25p Project, I get a wonderful smooth slomow, due to the 60fps get 'stretched' to 25fps.
if I don't Conform Speed, the 60p get playbacked - in a 25p pProject! - in real time => no slowmo
How 'good' FCPX does the marvel to down-cascade 60i into 24p ... try yourself.
no interlaced material in use here.
quality is in the eye of the beholder ...

Controlling Speed and other Frame Rate Questions!

Hello After Effects Community!
I have a few questions about a specific video situation I'm working with.
I have footage in 720p at 60FPS. I want to slow down sections of the video by easing into slow motion. What FPS should my comp be? should I make the comp 29.97 or 24 and then bring in the 60 fps footage and time remap it?
Basically I want to have it ply at normal speed and slow down a specific part and then have it speed up again. Help!

Your composition settings should be decided based on how the final product is being presented. If you're displaying in a cinema, you'll probably want 24fps. If you're playing on a TV, or via DVD or BluRay, or on YouTube, you'll probably want to use the standard frame rate for the country you live in - 29.97 in the US, Japan etc. 25fps in Europe, Australia, New Zealand etc. If you're doing some kind of high-end output, you may have the facility to use a high frame rate, but I suspect you'd already know about that if it were the case.
Interpret the footage in AE at its correct frame rate (60fps in your case), then use Time Remapping to adjust the playback speed.

Blu-ray project / change of frame rate

I am shooting 1080/24p format ( I live in Finland/Europe ). I have created blu-ray disk from my project
with original settings ( FC/share ). Everything is working more than fine.
I sent this disk to my American friend...the menu opened and BD player started, but no picture. This was actually a test and it failed. I know issue of different television setting USA/EUROPE...but I had to try.
My question: Is it possible to change frame rate 25p to 24p or 50i to 60i ?

can anyone recommend me some, so I can avoid running a bunch of tests please.
Winston,
You'll probably be happiest using either the JES Deinterlacer or MPEG Streamclip with the "blend" option activated. (Unless you've chucked them for some reason, I assume you still have both on hand.)
Take care,
Jon
